SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 356,966, dated February 1, 1887. Application filed September 3( 18 56. Serial .No. 214,969. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, BARNEY RUsH, of Flint, in the county of Genesee and State of Michigan, have invented new and useful Improvements in Combined Carving-Fork and Steel; andl do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in the manufacture of a combined carving-fork and sharpening steel.

The invention consists in a carving-fork with or without the usual spring-guard, the tang of such fork being inserted in the handle, such handle being grooved or partially hollow, to

allow the sharpening-steel, pivotally secured in the opposite end of such handle, to be con- 1 cealed within the latter, and having a spring forked tang being secured within the handle D, which latter is recessed to allow the steel E, which is pivotally secured in the opposite end of the handle, to be folded within the latter.

F is aspring-lever pivotally secured between the two sides of the handle, one end of said lever being provided with a catch, a, adapted to engage with the recesses bin the tang of the-steel, for the purpose of locking the latter in position.

The combination, in a carving-fork, of the recessed handle secured to the tang of the fork with the steel E, pivoted within the recess in said handle and arranged, when extended, to liein the same plane,substantially as described.

BARNEY RUSH.
